About

Coinsquare is a cryptocurrency trading platform located in Toronto, Canada. The company was founded in 2014. The aim of Coinsquare was to create a platform for fast and secure trading of cryptocurrencies and fiat money. We can't say that this exchange boasts huge trading volume, but it is one of the comfortable cryptocurrency platforms providing fiat money options that include Canadian, Australian, and US dollars, Swiss francs, Pounds sterling, and Euro.
Poloniex launched in 2014. It is based in the United States. It was recently acquired by Circle, a large Goldman-Sachs backed company. The exchange faced a hacker attack soon after opening which caused a higher level of security provided later. It requires a user’s physical address, postal address, date of birth, id, and phone number.

Fees are charged and deduced on a per-trade basis. The more “total volume” you trade on a rolling 30 day basis, the lower your fee on subsequent trades. We will calculate your fees based on your last 30 days of trading volume based on the daily average of the BTC-USD rate (24-hour weighted average price) and dynamically adjust your fees according to the following schedule:

Maker | Taker Trade | Volume (trailing 30 day avg)
0.08% |   0.20%  | < $1m USD
0.02% |   0.15%  | < $20m USD
0.00% |   0.10%  | ≥ $20m USD
